  • An oversupply of Aframax tankers on the west coast of the Americas in anticipation of the TMX pipeline startup pressed Vancouver loading rates to a six-month low towards the end of April according to Argus reports.
  • US Crude stocks built driven by a large drop in US exports combined with an unexpected decline in refinery runs in the week.
  • Exports crude from the US hit a 2024 year-to-date monthly low in April as refinery maintenance in Europe peaked, according to Bloomberg.
  • Marathon Petroleum is positioned to run near full utilisation this summer with Q2 rates for its refineries projected to average 94%, according to the CEO in the Q1 earnings call.
  • Guyana’s oil exports were stable on the month in April at 633k b/d, according to Bloomberg,
  • USD: The Bloomberg dollar spot index is currently down around 0.20% on the day.
